fact probably prevented it from attain

across a copy in a public library, read it
and worked himself at once into a rage be-
cause he thought he recognized his own por-

The Dauntless was built at Mystic Bridge,
Conn.,, by Forsyth s. Morgan, and was
launched in January, 1865. She was first
christened the Hirondelle, and was owned by
S. S. Bradford, Jr. Her first race was Oct
81, 1866, when she beat the schooner Vesta in
a race of twenty miles to windward and back
from Sandy Hook ightship. Time, oh. 2Sm.
SIS. In the spring of 1867 James Gordon
Bennett purchased the craft and rechristened
her the Dauntless. Her original cost was
$50, 900, and Mr.. Bennett spent several thou
sands more remodeling her completely.
In May, 1869, she was again put in the
water, and crossed the Atlantic from New
York to Queenstown in II days II hours and
6 minutes. Within month, however, the
Sappho made the same trip in II days
hours and % minutes, which time has never
been equaled by any yacht of any build. The
Dauntless has sailed about a dozen races,
coming off creditably in most of them. The
repairs lately put upon her include new rig
ging and the addition of eight tons of lead to
her keel.
Capt. Samuel SamuelS, who will com
mand her during the coming race, is past 60
He first gained celebrity through his cOnnec-
ton with Governor E. D. Morgans famous
clipper ship the DreadnougLt, which made
so many fast trips across the Atlantic that
she gained the reputation of being as fast as Il
steamship.
The keel of the Coronet was laid at the foot
of Bridge street, New York, in Poillon's ship
yard March 26, 1885. Her model is crys-
Utilization of the modern ideas of keel yacht
building. 1t was not until the summer Of
1886 that she was put in commission, having
then cost $50, 600. She made the run from
Sandy Hook to COwes last year in II days,
proving herself to be a fast vessel. In one
run of 90 hours she logged 225 miles. She
beat across the Needles to the LIZARD
in the English channel, against strong
west by north wind i'll % days. Her western
passage across the Atlantic last season con-
sumed 80 days, but was against very heavy
weather, during which she proved herself to
be an excellent sea boat.

coRoNET AND DAUNTLESS.
The Two Yachts Which Will Race Across
the Atlantic Ocean,

the Atlantic Ocean.
No yacht race of recent years has excited
| more interest than will the race between the
| Coronet and Dauntless across the Atlantic
ocean for $4,000 a side. But it is hardly
probable that the two ocean racers will sue
| coed in starting on Saturday, as has been ex-
| pected. Bad weather has interfered consid-
erably with the repairing necessary to fit the
Coronet for the trip, and it is doubtful If she
will get into the water in time to start as IN
| tended.
Although many readers have already seen
the figures Of the two yachts, it may not be
out of place to give them again. Here they
| are for the Coronet:
Length over all, 1913 feet; length on the load
water line, 123 feet; extreme beam, q feet; ex-
IRENE draught, II feet inches; length of main
mast, 81 feet; length of main boom, IS feet; sail
tons, per New York Yacht club racing measure
ment, ia; area of lower sails in square feet,
1885, of top sails in square feet, 1120; area
of square SAILS IN square feet, 3.135.
And here for Dauntless:
Length over all, 14 feet; length on load water
line, III feet inches; extreme draught, II feet
inches; extreme beam, % feet inches: length of
mainmast, s. feet; length of main boom, Is feet;
length of topmast, 46 feet; sail tons, per New
York Yacht club measurement, 111.2; area of
lower sails in square feet 6,9f1; area of top sails
in square feet 1885, of square sails in square
feet, 1865.
The race, as many already know, is the re-
suit of r. T. Bush's challenge, posted Jan. 1,
at the New York Yacht club house. Mr.
Bush is the owner of the CorOnet and ex-
pected that several yachts would accept the
challenger but no yacht owner had the neces-
sary nerve excepting Caldwell H Colt, the
owner of the Dauntless. The boats have
been making ready for the contest for more
than month. The course is to extend from
Owls Head to Roches Point, Queenstown
harbor, and the judges will be the members
of the ROYAL Cork Yacht cIub

be an excellent sea boat.

Capt. Crosby, who will command the
Coronet, knows his craft from top to keelson
and from stem to stern. He assisted in pre-
pairing her model and jealousy watched
every detail of her construction He
says the boat suits him in every
particular. He has been at sea since a child,
has sailed all styles Of vessels and has had
many remarkable experiences. Among past
undertakings which guarantee his nerve are
the sailing of a small tugboat from New York
to Cape Town, Africa, and of a catboat from
Boston to Bermuda.
The New York Tribune gives the following
summary of the transatlantic yacht races of
1866 and 1870 All readers interested in
yachting will be glad to see it:
The first was started Dec. II, 1866, from the
Sandy Hook lightship and the finishing point
was the Needles, at the southwest point of the
Isle of Wight. The schooners competing
were James Gordon Benefits Henrietta,
George and Francis Osgoods Fleetwing and
Pierre Lorillard's Vesta, and the entrance fee
for each was $4,000. Leonard w. Jerome
was the stakeholder. The Henrietta won.
arriving at the Needles at 3:45 p. m. Dec 25,
having sailed 8, LOG miles in IS days 81 hours
and 30 minutes. She lost six sailors on the
trip. The Fleetwing passed the Needles at
midnight, having covered 8, 135 miles in IA
days hours and 10 minutes, and the Vesta
finished forty minutes later, having sailed
3, IA miles in IA days hours and so minutes
The second race was between James Cor
don Benefits Dauntless and the English
schooner Cambria, and was started at Daunt's
rock, Cork harbor, at 2:20 p. m. July A. 1870
The Cambria passed the Sandy Hook light
ship, the finishing point, % days hours and
Is seconds from that time, arriving in New
York harbor on July 81 at $3.50 p. m She
had traversed 1917 miles. The Dauntless
came into port less than two hours behind her
rival, and her log showed that she had made
2 1865 miles in % days hours minutes and
AZ seconds. Two of her sailors had been
washed overheard and lost in a storm

Leslie, of Kentucky. He is certainly as self
reliant, energetic and altogether self made
as the most exacting Montanian
can wish. Those qualities show in
every lineament of the portrait of Mr. Les
lie, which is herewith presented. He has
filled in succession each post from cart driver
to governor, and the Montanian who drove a
mule team across the plains to his new home
cannot object that new governor has been
made from decayed politician.
Born in Clinton county, KY, Mr. Leslie
has lived for twenty-five years past at
Glasgow in that state, and has been promin-
ent in public life. Left an orphan at an
early age, he began as driver of cart in
Louisville; at IA he became a wood chopper,
at 10 ferryman, then farm laborer and at
the early age of % lawyer. After local
career in politics he was elected to the state
senate and chosen president of that body.
| Soon after Governor Helm died, Lieutenant
| Governor Stevenson took his place and Mr..
Leslie advanced from president of the senate
| to lieutenant governor. Soon after Governor
Stevenson was elected to the Unired States
| senate, and Mr., Leslie succeeded as governor
At the next election he was chosen governor
by majority of 81, 156 over his Republican
competitor, Gen. James Harlan, now associ-
ate justice of the United States. Later he
was elected circuit judge. All these positions
he has ably and faithfully filled

New YORK, March y.
While Henry Ward Beecher's life was eb-
bling away in those last few days, when his
condition, as his physicians said, was like
that of one in troubled dream, and since
his soul has gone out of its clay garments,
his wife has shown the same high courage
which has distinguished her throughout her
entire life. She loved her husband passing
well Indeed, she might be said to be "ln
love with him." as they say of the young,
who are under an infatuation, which mar
riage so often dispels. There is no doubt of
one thing-after more than forty years of
wedlock Mrs Beecher was Enthusiastically In
love with her husband. This fact alone is the
highest and most eloquent tribute to the great
preachers character that can ever be given.
l talked with her just after she had returned
from a long trip through California and the
south, and she spoke with girlish delight OF
the pleasure she had had in his society while
they were away.

In the numerous articles published in the
papers about Henry Ward Beecher very little
is said about the humorous side OF his charac-
ter. He was full of humor, and it was In his
hearty sympathy with mankind that his great
est successes had their birth. He was not afraid
to say funny thing in the pulpit, and ne once
said: 81 have been criticised because made
people laugh If made them cry, l suppose
it would have been all right, but the Bible
don't say So"

not later established b6unties which are so
much higher that Great Britain is able TO
purchase sugar at less than the cost of
production"
The writer then describes the adoption
of the bounty system by Germany, Austria
and Russia. He appears to be hopeful,
however, that the system will shortly be
exploded. He says that France has now
adopted the German method of creating a
bounty, namely the taxation on beets is
reckOned on the assumption that the beets
will produce 6 per cent. of sugar. The es-
innate for the present crop is that they will
produce 10 per cent Of sugar, consequently
40 per cent. of the product goes duty free,
and the estimated loss to the French Urea.
sury is reckOned at about 80 millions of
francs. "This last step Of France" he
says "seems, however, to be a reductio al
absurdum, aud it is therefore to be hoped
that the limit is now reached, and that it
will not be long before the sugar trade is
put on a better footing" He concludes
by mentioning that the English Govern.
ment had taken steps for getting an inter
national conference held with a view to
the general abolition Of taxes on sugar
or the creation of some arrangements
which would have a similar effect.

THE SUGAR BOUNTIES.

The Northumberland of 4th February has
an article on this subject, taken from the
Sugar Market Report for 1886 of James
Dunn & Co., Glasgow. The writer says:
"Sugar bOunties have already existed
for over 20 years i'll several European
countries, but they did not exercise any
important influence on prices till after the
Franco-G erman war. After this event the
French government, in order to aid its
finances, increased the import duty on most
goods. Among them vas sugar, and the
consequence was that the difference be-
tween the import duty and the drawback
on expectation increased to such an extent
that it assumed the character of a CON
siderable bounty. The Government OF
Great Britain, OF behalf of its colonies,
sugar r~efners, and sugar merchants, i'm.
mediately protested in regard to this state
Of affairs, that there was a plain breach of
the convention concluded between Great
Britain. France, Holland and Belgium in
1864. for abolishing all bounties on export
ed refined sugar. For four years the 60
vernments of Great Britain, Holland and
Belgium carried on a diplomatic war
against France, and several international
conferences were held, but without shaking
the discrimination of France to adhere to
her policy. AT last the French Govern
ment, however, came to a different conclu-
sion, and of it's own initiative reduced the
export bounty % little. This came too
late, however, Or the English reineries,
which had all closed except one. After the
change in the French law one refinery
commenced again, and two refiners who
had hitherto made only crushed sugar now
took up the manufacture of loaf sugar, as
is said, with some profit.
"But scarcely had France modified her
bounty system, than Holland, which had
been the ioudest in describing the French
procedure in establishing bounties as a
breach of the Convention of 1864, by al
terations in the tariff and export draw
backs, gave her own reiners a bounty.
The Dutch bounty exists still, and would
attract more attention if other nations had
